[R] packrat: Failed to download current version of foreign(0.8-67)
Hi All, I tried to use packrat on R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [7] base other attached packages: [1] packrat_0.4.8-1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_3.3.2 Due to internal firewall restrictions the package "foreign" could not be downloaded as source. I assume that the package also contains some binary parts which will be blocked by the firewall. When running packrat a directory "packrat" and a file called .Rprofile were created in the project directory. A lot of library sources were download, but not for "foreign". After finishing the process the directory "packrat" and the file .Rprofile were deleted from the project directory. Why is that? Just one source library missing and the whole directory is gone? Having all libraries for my project without just one is better than none! How can I use packrat with the missing library "foreign"? Kind regards Georg

[R] packrat: Failed to download current version of foreign(0.8-67)
foreign is a recommended package that is already part of your R
installation. and there shoudl not be a problem to install a recent
version of it.
What is the error message of you run
install.packages("foreign") from a new R session?
Best,
Uwe Ligges

Hi Mr. Ligges,
doing as you said R responds with
install.packages("foreign")
trying URL
'https://cran.uni-muenster.de/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/foreign_0.8-67.zip'

The firewall in my company blocks all binary files. Foreign is downloaded
in "wb" mode. Thus I have no chance to get it. The first fresh
installation was done from an external drive. As packrat is also
downloading the binaries instead of the source my download will always
fail.
My sessionInfo() is
